SAM COOKE
"If I Had A Hammer"

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
Hammer in the evening
All over this land

I'd hammer out danger
Hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a bell
I'd tinkle in the morning
Tinkle in the evening time
All over this land
I'd tinkle out that danger
I'd tinkle out a warning
Tinkle out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a song
Sing it in the evening
All over this land
And I'd sing out danger
Sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
A hammer in the evening time
All over this land

I hammer out danger
Hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Look, I got a hammer
And I got a bell
And I got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
A bell of freedom yeah
It's a song about love
Between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land

Yeah, Lord have mercy
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
